regarding drivers on the Instrument Drivers Network

[dyz]

hey everyone

I have a question regarding the drivers for 'controllers' in the instrument drivers network. ni.com/idnet

The list of controllers there (for my application i need temperature controllers), are they the list that show which controllers labVIEW will be able to program with?

For my application I need to make a temperature profile in labVIEW and have it communicate to a PID controller and program into the controller that set point profile. Is it also possible to use labVIEw and have the program to change PID parameters (KI, KD, KP) in a 3rd party PID controller?

thanks!

If this is related to this, please keep everything in one place/thread.

You may be in need of the LV PID Control toolkit also.

Sorry didn't mean to jump threads.

Would the PID toolkit be the toolkit to change PID parameters in the 3rd party PID controolller?

No I do not think you need the PID toolkit. The PID toolkit is needed if you want to build you own PID controller with LabView. What you need is to dig down in your PID controller communication protocol. You need to understand how you shal send instructions to your PID, or read from status info from it.

thanks coq rouge for your reply!
